20190122: ICC HTB11 Neurons (Small fiber neuropathies – IgG)

2019.01.11: Coating and seeding

  • Prepare 5 plates of 60 mm of diameter with 26 coverslips (9 mm)
  • Treatment with laminin  1h (2’4 microg/ml diluted in Borate Buffer)
  • Wash with PBS 1x (3 times)
  • Seed aprox 20000 cells/cm2 –> every plate has 21 cm2 –> 500000 cells/plate 60 mm (in proliferation medium)
  • Incubate at 37ºC

2019.01.14: proliferation medium exchange

Change the medium of the cells –> new proliferation medium

2019.01.15: treatment and medium exchange (differentiation)

Change the medium of the cells –> Add retinoic acid to the differentiation medium (1 microl RA in 1 ml differentiation medium)

*Change the half of the differentiation medium (+ retinoic acid) every 2 or 3 days –> 18.01.19 / 21.01.19

2019.01.22: ICC

Samples

  • 1-49: Small fiber PNP
  • 50: negative control 1
  • 51: negative control 2
  • 52: JGV (positive control)
  • 53: 15-198 (CNTN1+)

ICC Protocol:

  • Fix with PFA 4% . Incubation at RT during 15 min.
  • Wash with PBS 1x
  • Block with Goat Serum 5 % (incubation at RT during 1 h)
  • Patient’s sera diluted 1/100  with Goat Serum 5 %
  • Wash with PBS 1x
  • Secondary antibody: GAH 488 IgG diluted 1/1000  in Goat Serum 5 %
  • Wash with PBS 1x
  • Vectashield mounting medium

Results:  las neuronas están muy mal (pocos axones y muchas células muertas.

Problema con la diferenciación –> hay que hacerlo a 10.000 cels/cm2, y añadir 1 microl de RA por cada ml de medio que hay en la placa (es decir, si cambio la mitad del medio, añadir el doble de RA).
